Hitting up a coffee shop was definitely not what I was expecting to do immediately after setting foot in Dublin; but given that my friends are such coffee fiends that they even put me to shame, I didn't have a choice but to hit up one of Dublin's hottest coffee spots as soon as we got off the bus. The space is rather small, as most coffee shops are, and the prices are a bit up there, but all the coffee they make holds its own against some of the best- no Starbucks quality here- and the food is amazing. Speaking of, if you haven't tried their hotcakes slathered with berries, compote, and some of the most decadent whipped cream you've ever tasted, you haven't lived life to the fullest. It was so sweet, it was almost too much for me to finish, but I won't complain about such a delicious sugar rush this early in the morning. If you're not the "dessert for breakfast" type, they also have your typical avocado toast- don't ask me why that's a thing here, too- eggs, breakfast meats, and of course, porridge. Or, if you're not the breakfast type, they do have some bomb-looking pastries available all day, every day, including vegan options. These guys must also be pretty well-established given that they have merch available for purchase, on top of their perishables. And really, the coffee here is amazeballs. If you come for nothing else, come for that.
A super cute and cozy cafe in Dublin with healthy food options and beautiful decor. I ate here during my last few days in Dublin and the service was incredible, food left me leaving happy and full. I don't recommend anything specific since everything was pretty good and worth the money!
Wowsers! No really, two big thumbs up for those guys. I heard about Two Boys Brew on Instagram, the logo on their coffee cups caught my attention. The website doesn't give much away (yet) so I emailed them via Yelp to see whether they do brunch. Within minutes I had reply and a menu to follow. That's how you run a business. The brunch menu is amazing. I found it really hard to choose which had nothing to do with my slight hangover but with the amazing choice they offer. Eventually I opted for the mushroom with spinach, whipped feta and poached eggs on sourdough and my friend had the blueberry & ricotta hotcake which came with plenty of fresh fruit on top. We had flat whites and lattes and we were in heaven.. Service is really friendly and although this place is only open a few weeks, they are already buzzing with a constant stream of people coming in looking for a great cup of brew. Although it's a big enough and open space with plenty seats, it isn't too noisy. You know how you, in plenty places sit almost on top of each other and elbow someone's food off their plate trying to raise your cup? That's not the case here. At all. I went back with my flatmate today for a cup of their guest brew (a roaster from Munich at the moment) and a sweet treat. We sat by the window and just watched people for a while. Life was good! It's not like we don't have any cool coffee places here in Smithfield but they'll definitely be seeing a lot me up there in Phibsboro.
Two Boys Brew is my favorite place to go in Dublin for brunch. The hotcakes are incredible (and massive) and the coffee is great. It gets quite busy on weekends, so expect to wait if you go during typical brunch times, but it is definitely worth the wait.
After visiting here I'm seriously contemplating moving to Phibsboro. Ok, well maybe that's a little extreme but you get the idea...This place is great!! I had lunch with some friends here today and was really impressed. I'm not overly familiar with this neck of the woods but Two Boys Brew really stood out as being a little different. The decor is minimalist and cool, the staff are lovely and there's a great vibe, really relaxed and welcoming. The menu is varied, with something for everybody. I think a meaty sandwich like a Reuben would really compliment the menu but that's more personal preference as there was plenty to choose from. I opted for the Avocado Mash which is sourdough bread topped with avocado, roasted tomatoes, rocket, feta, poached eggs and lemon. Simply put, it was delicious. I also had a peanut butter cookie sandwich and it was equally amazing, and a really generous size. I'll definitely be heading back here to sample some more of the menu. Not only were the portion sizes really decent, but the food was reasonably priced given the high quality. If you're in the Phibsboro area get yourself down to check this place out. And even if you're not, it's well worth the trip!
Enjoyed this wonderful food and ambience! I also liked how much natural light there was inside.
Hands down my favourite brunch spot in Dublin! They switch up the menu making slight variations of each dish every so often. I haven't tried anything I didn't like. The coffee is also phenomenal it has such a distinct taste. A highlight always is whatever version of the hot cake they have on the menu, it's amazing! Decor is really cool, but I find the wide benches at the back a bit impractical, you have to sit next to someone if you want to be able to talk. The staff are also really sound. An absolute gem!
Great good place to grab brunch or a coffee locally but my god this place is jammers so be prepared there might be some wait, it's 15-20 mins wait but they are fast enough to get rid of ppl. We felt a bit pressured into leaving after we had food and wanted to get a second coffee but the staff kind of peer pressured us in asking what else we wanted etc so in the end we decided to leave n go to another coffee place nearby to have another coffee and proper chat. Mind you tho it was a Sunday brunch so ultimately it is very busy ........ still tho... jus saying be prepared... otherwise mgr seems genuine and friendly when we walked in and took our name down on the wait list....
Very cool new addition to the neighbourhood. Having lived in Smithfield for the last 4 years I had become a bit jaded with the local brunch/breakfast options. Two Boys Brew to the rescue! From the decor to the very attractive kitchen staff this place has it. I've been 3 times over the last 3 weeks and it's never disappointed. The coffee is spot on and the menu interesting and varied. As a lunch choice this cafe also delivers. Delicious, fresh wholesome sambos with gorgeous toppings. All served with wicked salads. Props to the waiting staff as well who are always super friendly and clearly very passionate about this new, slick cafe.
Queued 20 minutes for a table and it was worth every second. This is exactly what Phibsboro needed. Excellent coffee culture, amazing food and seriously good vibes. It's a relaxed atmosphere with amazingly friendly staff. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and the brunch menu was perfect, I was spoilt for choice and eventually opted for the avocado mash with poached egg on sourdough topped with roasted tomatoes, rocket and feta, poached eggs and a side of chorizo. It was excellent. I had a flat white and pretzel blondie after and that was even better. Cannot recommend this place more!
A very welcome addition to a locality sorely - and bizarrely - lacking in decent eateries, this latest culinary addition is definitely a cut above the more standard low-level coffee shops and fast food joints with the exception of the local staple Woodstock, which many would say is through true heart of Phibsborough village. But Two Boys Brew is undoubtedly complementary. In keeping with a hipster-influenced vibe so prominent in the new wave of Dublin cafes, it has an honest and youthful feel about it, in its considered decor and menu. As a layout it feels spacious and airy and the food is fresh and high quality with well thought through combinations and decent veggie choices. Clearly it's an overnight hit as it looks hopping each time I pass, and I finally had lunch there: butternut squash and goats cheese on delicious bread with a side of soup for an extra €2 - hard to argue. Brunch options looks very nice too. I wish them well - they deserve their success. Hopefully their example will be an incentive for others to recognise the appetite locally here for good food along with chilled vibes. An evening tapas/wine bar would be the way to go for the interested entrepreneur - just in case anyone's listening!
We stopped by on our way up to Glasnevin Cemetery shortly after opening. We had no issues finding a seat and staff was friendly and engaging. The space was bright and clean with a gorgeous greenhouse style rooftop and plants all around. Our food was phenomenal - everything was delicious and the coffee fantastic. We would definitely come back (hopefully soon!) read more
I come here every time I'm in Dublin. Great coffee and SCRUMPTIOUS food! Eggs are poached to perfection and the composition of flavors in each dish is just a 10/10. Today we came with a baby and they had a great, secure high chair. Don't miss this gem!!! read more

I've been excited to get a chance to try out this place on my next Dublin visit and dare I say it was totally worth the excitement. Lots of choice, friendly staff and a real fresh vibe for the Dublin coffee and brunch scene. I had the hotcake (must try) and it was delicious. I'll be coming back here. read more

Just home from a 3 week trip to Oz where my husband and I fell in love with the coffee culture there. Melbourne especially has such great coffee and cafe's. we are home two days and have had lunch/brunch in Two Boys Brew each day. It's such a great neighbourhood cafe with a great Melbourne coffee shop feel. The staff are so nice and friendly and the menu is simply fantastic. I had the roast chicken and stuffing sandwich on our first visit. It is extremely tasty especially the stuffing that is full of flavour. The roast tomato is a great touch that adds something very tasty to the sandwich. For our second visit I went with scrambled eggs and tomato relish. I was seriously blown away by the quality of the ingredients. I ate a lot of eggs in Melbourne and Sydney and I must admit that the eggs from Two Boys Brew were by far the best. My compliments to the chef who is very talented. I have a feeling that this is going to be a place that I'm going to visit a lot. The coffee is from 3fe which is a nice touch. It's really nice. I may also be a convert for avacado smash and roast which is fresh, clean and tasty. I reckon everything on the menu is going to be great and I'll enjoy trying everything. The deserts are next on my list. They look incredible. Dublin definitely needs more places like this. I am delighted that it's on my door step. Best of luck guys. read more
